It reached the freezing mark in Springfield overnight, but the temperatures in Greater Boston are expected to rebound nicely on Friday, creating a nice fall day to end the work week, the National Weather Service said.

“After overnight lows in the lower 30s across portions of the region early this morning, expect temperatures to recover to seasonal levels during this afternoon,’’ forecasters wrote on social media. “Temps will top off in the lower-mid 60s, which are close to seasonal normals for mid October.”

Joining Springfield in the cold locker was Orange where the thermometer dropped to 32 degrees. The earliest Boston hit the mark was on Oct. 5, 1881, and the normal date is Nov. 4, the weather service said.
